This was one of the very first Madonna news reports I taped myself. It was June 1987 and UK breakfast channel TV-am were reporting that Madonna's husband Sean Penn had been given a jail term after being convicted of assaulting a photographer.
Madonna was in Japan at the time of the news, on the opening leg of her first ever world tour and it was a big treat to see some footage of "Lucky Star" from one of the Japanese 'Who's That Girl' concerts in the report. This was the first time I had ever seen a clip from what remains my favourite Madonna tour!

You have two incredibly talented people who are consistently away for their work and projects. It can't be the easiest relationship to try and build and make strong.
But Sean and Madonna have both admitted they were young and acted foolish many times with each other. I guess there's something to be said about being a bit older when getting married, but it still didn't work for Madonna, even when she did it at 40-something. Guess it goes to show marriage isn't easy for anyone, no matter what the age...but her 2nd marriage at least was able to last for 4 years more than her 1st one did.
